This semester I will be taking an Irish Film Studies course.  As part of my course assessment, I need to respond each week to a film or films that were viewed in class.  If you have an interest in Irish film, please follow my journey.  

We will be starting with the silent film era from 1910 when a film company the O'Kalems crossed the Atlantic to film in Ireland.  These silent films were mostly based on books, stories or plays then written into a film.  These films were aimed at the American audience, for those who dreamed of a romanticized Ireland and for those of the Irish diaspora who were nostalgic for home.  

There will be films by homegrown Irish filmmakers and Hollywood films that place Ireland on the global stage.

I am not sure if all films can be accessed through the internet or Netflix.

Hoping I can get through the last film, week 13!  An Irish horror film!!
